Parco Tecnologico Padano set up CeRSA, a Centre for Research and Study in the field of Agro-Food.
Within CeRSA, 5 Research groups together with 4 Technological Platforms run innovative activities on genomics in order to obtain safer, healthier and adequate food. The mission of CeRSA is focused on biotech research of excellence in the field of agro-food, in particular in the livestock sector, agriculture yields, bio-safety, health, food and the environment.

Alimenta incubator at PTP is devoted to newly founded enterprises in the agro-biotech field. Its main aim is to support the creation of start-up and spin-off to exploit the results obtained by research and the tuning of new solutions to issues and criticalities.

PTP, following an internationalization goal, has created a research network of more than 250 institutions in 50 countries. 

Moreover, a section devoted to development cooperation has been implemented, which allows to start technology transfer projects in emerging countries.
